Tell It Like It Is |
I jus` a tell it like it is, yeah |
I jus` a tell it like it is, oh yeah |
I`ve got to be blatant in this time |
Jus` like i know 1 + 1 no make 9 (repeat) |
Now what was i saying about being blatant |
You got to be blatant in an argument |
You got to make sure your feelings are felt |
Perfect example for you from me Watch lying politicians me seh on me t.v. |
Pay big big money for the licence fee |
(at the same time them a try fi fool we) (repeat) |
I jus` tell it like it is, yeah |
I jus` tell it like it is, oh yeah |
I`ve got … |
I`ve got to be blatant in this time |
Now let me tell me more about being blantant |
You got to be blatant me seh |
With product you invent |
If you don`t patent it You nah see a cent |
You have no money fi go pay up your rent |
If you crash fi your car |
Or you in an accident |
If it`s not your fault you be blatant |
I jus` tell it like it is, yeah |
I jus` tell it like it is, oh yeah |
I`ve got … |
Now i get serious about being blatant |
Police come and mess with me pon the pavement |
They say oi` where you going, what you doing here? |
I just leave mi house fi go buy a tin of beer |
Another example of being blatant |
South africa police a kill the innocent |
Fire live ammunition me seh into a crowd |
If that`s not blatant murder |
Then murder can`t be found (repeat) |
(repeat chorus) |
